A fun day at the dog park :)

Today was a beautiful day so I decided to take the whole family to the dog park. That would be Titan, Kya and Banana. I am getting pretty good at loading them all and then unloading them. We have the best dog park where we live. Titan just loves to chase the cars behind the fence. Kya likes to run around and chase as many squirrels up the trees as she can.

I told Titan to get his Frisbee and this is what he brings back.

Funny things about Banana!!

Well our little girl Banana is about the funniest little thing!! 

First I want to start off by saying how much I love to vacuum. I love having clean carpet that I can lay on and not get dog hair all over me. I also love the lines it leaves in the carpet so that everyone knows that I just vacuumed. My most favorite thing about vacuuming is watching Banana crawl as fast as she can to get away from it. Haha that might sound mean but it is so cute and funny. She doesn't cry, she just kind of screams and crawls as fast as she can. I love how she always stops to look at the vacuum. Here are some pictures.

"it is still there mom"

Banana likes to chew on almost anything (just like any other baby) and one day I gave her Tylenol and then I let her chew on the rubber end (probably not the safest thing). Most of you know that Banana is a thumb sucker just like her momma was. We tried to get her to suck a binky but it just didn't make her happy. Well I decided to get out one of the 8 binky's that we had to see what she would do with it. Believe it or not she loved it!! She loves to chew on it and then throw it and repeat or she will shake it and listen to the plastic part click. She doesn't know how to suck on it so that it stays in her mouth. It is so funny to watch. I was able to get some pictures.

Banana is looking very cute with her two top teeth and her two bottom teeth!!

There is just one problem with all these teeth.

 Sometimes I get mad at Elmo.....

and I bite him!!!

Banana has not bit mom or dad but she gets mad at Elmo when she can't figure out how to turn him on and she will bit down and scream (luckily that is not another kids arm). Banana has not had too much experience with other children so I am not sure if she will be a biter or not.. 

But we will still LOVE our Banana no matter what!!

September 22nd

Hello everyone!!! Today has been quite the eventful day in my world. I found out today that someone made an offer on the house we are renting. We knew this could happen when we signed the lease but we didn't expect it to be so soon. Nothing is final yet but we may be moving again! We have lived in this house for three months. Actually I am kind of ok with it. I do really like this home but we will be ok living anywhere that provides a roof over our heads for the time being.


I just want to say that I am so thankful for my experience with children. It has definitely made parenting A LOT easier. I worked in three different ECDC over a period of 7 years before retiring to be a stay at home mommy!! Their is a reason I am bringing this up. Well lets first say that Banana has started to pull herself up to just about anything. We have hard wood floors in every room except the living room. Banana decided to pull herself up to a toy in her bedroom that was not very sturdy. Yes, Banana fell over fulling the toy down on top of her head. She landed on the side of her head with the toy landing on the other side of her head. Lets just say it was a pretty big BANG when she hit the floor. Banana was very upset and it left a pretty big knot on both sides of her head. Because this is not the first kid I have seen smash into the ground I responded pretty well. I picked her up to comfort her and checked the marks. Then we got an ice pack :). You have to love ice packs!! When you work at a ECDC you get ice packs for children at least every hour :).

That's all for today..

Great News!!

On Monday I took our dogs and Banana to a kennel so the dogs could have their interview. This was the first time that I had to take Titan, Kya, and Banana somewhere. It wasn't too bad. The dogs did great!! Anyways the dogs had to be interviewed to see how they would handle someone else taking them for a walk and playing with them. I was a little nervous at first b/c as most of you know our dogs are a little crazy. I was relieved when the man came back telling me how great our dogs were. Today we did a test run and I loaded up Titan, Kya, and Banana again and headed to the kennel so the dogs could go to doggie daycare. The lady told me she would call if there was any problem or if the dogs were under stress. The lady called me to tell me that the dogs were doing great (this made me very happy). I picked the dogs up when I had scheduled to do so and they were so excited to see Banana and I. The owners told me how much fun they had playing with our dogs and how great they are. I was so happy to hear this. Let me tell you I have never seen anyone loves dogs so much. This is the best kennel I have ever seen. I can't wait to kennel them there and I know I will not be worried about them at all!! Here are some pictures we took the other day while the dogs were inside!! Kya loves to lick Banana and Banana loves to pull on Kya's tail and ears and climb on Titan :). But they LOVE her.

My very first post

Tonight I decided I would start a blog. I have tried to do this once before but I got to frustrated and quite. Today I decided I don't care what my page looks like. I will be happy however it turns out and maybe when I start to understand this thing I can change it around and make it look stunning.

So let me share a little bit about myself and our family. There is just too much going on in our life to not share with friends and family. My amazing husband is such a hard worker that it has allowed me to be able to stay home with our little Banana. I would not change it for anything. So while he is busy all day working his tail off, I am at home cleaning, doing laundry, taking care of our two dogs, and teaching Banana everything she needs to know to be a smart kid. You may be wondering if we actually have a baby or if we have a banana  (that you eat). We do in fact have a baby girl, her real name is not banana. Before she was born we had several nicknames that we thought we might call her (banana was not one of them), but none of them really fit. My husband started calling our daughter banana peel and now it is just banana. We will be referring to her as Banana in our posts. We also have two dogs named Titan and Kya. Titan is brown and Kya is black and they LOVE to play.

That is all for my first post. I hope that my husband and I can keep up on this as a form of a journal and look back on our journey through life.
